HerGaiety boosted

Folks, I want to boost your lovely posts, I really do but I won’t if you don’t write image descriptions (alt text) so people who use screen readers can also experience them.

It doesn’t take long to write one.

And if you’re posting an image of text and you have an iPhone, you can select the text from the image with a long press and copy/paste it.

Even Linux has apps that do this (like Frog: tenderowl.com/work/frog/)

@thevglibrary generally speaking alt text describes the most important bits of what the image wants to convey. That often means vibes, message, intent, text within the image, and potentially additional context. Wishing you luck and use it as an experiment to keep getting better! Everyone appreciates the effort.

Happily using Gitlab dode doooo!

My fulltime career using GitHub ack, I need to update my avatar to still save Drop ICE in 2022? AI is stealing my code for training purposes without my ability to opt out?

Oh you're doing Agile? That's cute.

Me, an intellectual, I'm jaded. Help lol
